Again, I have created the md5sum by acutally reading the CD, on each of the via machines,and they match the published md5sum. Proving each via machine is not faulty.I constantly play with various distros, and have multiple drives and partitions on all machines,with various distros installed.

If I can provide any more info, or run an experiment to solve the issue,Let me know.

I tried to sync my Sony Clie using JPilot. No luck. No error messages at the command line when I launched JPIlot as root or user. I discovered that pilot-link wasn't installed. So I installed that with G-Slapt but I had the same results.

I've been using the instructions posted by Joe1962 for a few years and they've always worked. I also added a 03-local.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d, as required for VL 5.9 and presumably later, which I got on this forum from derrell. Tomorrow I'll reboot the computer and see if things go better. But for now, I can't sync my Ciie, which is a major problem for me.--GrannyGeek

B1.2 iso fixed boot problems on all my machines. No more via problems.

I am assuming this is the place to post problems with this iso. If this is wrong, or too much detail, just say so.

Tried the new installer, actually did the FULL install to hard disk ok.Got to the 'Kernel Boot Options' , I entered "vga=791", clicked next.Popup error message said this was an error, closed that, was moved to "Regional Settings' page.I clicked 'Back' to remove the "vga=791", did so, clicked 'Next', and 'Regional .. was skipped, went to 'System Admin'.I enter root password ok then tried 'Back' again, to get to the Regional. System locked up. 'Back' and 'Next' were both greyed out. Clicked 'Exit installation', to get a blank gray screen.Finally found left mouse click ->Quit->reboot. Started All over again.

2nd try, things went well until screen with message "No ethernet device found" (VT6108 Rhine-II in this case).I continued, went to end, rebooted ok into new install.Using vasm the net card was detected ok, configured ok.Tried every means I could find, even manually editing xorg.conf, could not get X to run.Error message always:"Fatal server error: could not open default cursor font 'cursor'. "

I dont think you are missing fonts.If you run "cd / && sh /var/log/scripts/x11-fonts*" it will fix the problem.this is ran in the BG while you are setting up root passwd, user, etc.I think somehow you guys are exiting before it finishes.

Ran through the root passwd and user very carefully, but still ended up with the same error.Was unable to run the script you suggested 'x11-fonts'.I ran the closest resembling script 'x11-fonts-7.2-noarch-2vl59' and you were right. It started the x-server without a problem.So what the heck am I doing wrong during the gui set-up? I think I'm making the same mistake with my other machines during install but they seem to boot just fine, but display other problems sometimes. (May not be related, I guess..)

I'm going to play with this a bit. Feel like I'm learning something.

I will post on the distro development thread anything I find that might be usefull.
